But once in a while, an email comes my way that makes my life feel like it makes perfect sense.

Here is a link i got from my email from www.simpletruths.com that it felt like it is my God given duty to share it with you.

It will bring you to a 3 minutes movie that'll inspire you about the story of a person with Down's Syndrome who works at his neighborhood grocery store and what he does every day that makes a difference to other people's lives.

Not to mention the ever increasing profits that he brings to his employer.

Nope, I didn't get the iPad and film the unboxing and the narration etc. but I saw this really cool "... voyeuristic and vicarious ..." version on YouTube that I felt compelled to share it with you.

BTW, this video could be inappropriate for youngsters or youngsters at heart because of its "... voyeuristic and vicarious ..." nature. It means that there will be the use of the word "porn" and "pornographic" etc.

So, if you are uncomfortable with "... voyeuristic and vicarious ..." theme's please sip the video.

For those who are adult enough to process such tiltilations please proceed.

It is all in good clean fun anyway.

You see, this version pointed out something really significant at 3:45 mins of the footage where unlike most computers in the market, the Apple iPad needs to be synced with your iTunes account!

If you don't have an iTunes account and/or have a computer (PC or Apple) to sync the iPad with, you won't be able to use it.

BUMMER!!!

So, to add to my previous post about what I think about the iPad: iPAD SUCKS?!

Where is the camera for video conferencing or SKYPE-ing?

Where is the SD card slot?

Where is the USB port?

Why is there no multitasking?

Why iPad's internet browser(SAFARI mobile) doesn't support Flash?

Why I can't use the iPad straight out of the box but that I need to sync it with iTunes via a PC or Apple computer?

I bet that Apple would have a current solution/response for points 2, 3, 5, and 6.

Apple's imaginary response to:

Question #2 & #3 (Where is the SD & USB card slot?):

There is an adapter that you can buy to convert the iPad Dock connector to SD, USB and even VGA for projectors or flat screen TVs.

That's because Apple supports a new industry standard that will beat Flash called HTML 5.

Question #6 (Why I can't use the iPad straight out of the box but that I need to sync it with iTunes via a PC or Apple computer?):

That's because there could have been a new software/OS or vulnerability patch that was not included before the iPad was boxed.

Question #1 & #4 (Why no camera and no multi-tasking?):

Because of the low pricing policy of Apple to let many people afford the iPad, the camera and multi-tasking capabilities were stripped away and multi-tasking processes always drains more battery that would shortened the 10 hour long battery life.

If the price to performance ratio of camera and multi-tasking procesor were to improve, future iPads would definitely come with built-in cameras and multi-tasking processors and more longer lasting batteries.

I found a very elegant video on YouTube about how we should build ourselves another source of income rather than to depend solely on the main source that is usually converting our time + effort = income. I believe that it is possible to create autonomous systems = our initial time + effort taken to build that system.

Take a look:

Now, the question is what can we do to be like Pablo who took his smarts and creativity to build his pipeline system.

If I were to go through some points, would you agree that our own Pipeline system would:

Not take too much time to build,

Not be too expensive to build,

Not too difficult to do.

I know of a businessman who gave me a formula that he follows closely for any new projects to improve on his cashflow:

How much to spend?

What is the work?

What is the returns? (Risks?)

One method that I've seen so far is using the internet to earn an income. There is this term that is used called Internet Marketing.

One system that is I am showing a lot of interest is this:

Then Engadget reported that the iPAD's Safari software doesn't support websites with Flash support.

Here is the excerpt:

"It is without question one of the best browsing experiences we've encountered. But is it the best? Well, not really.

Why, you ask? Well that answer is simple and extremely complicated at the same time. Currently, there is a web standard called Flash, developed by a company named Adobe, which allows for the easy insertion of rich media into webpages. That's everything from streaming video and audio files, online gaming, to entire websites made using its broad and deep development tools. The penetration percentage for Flash on PCs around the world is something like 98 -- that's almost everyone -- and many, many sites employ the standard on their pages. When we say many, we mean most if not all of the pages you typically visit use Flash to display some of their content. The iPad browser doesn't support Flash, and won't support Flash, perhaps ever. Apple has not only turned away from what is the industry standard for rich media in webpages, but it instead is pushing a newer standard called HTML5. Apple has been very successful thus far in moving its agenda forward and bringing websites into the fold of HTML5, but we're talking maybe, say, one percent of websites on the internet. Probably way less.

So what does this mean for an end user? Well it means that when you visit a site like Hulu, HBO, NBC, Lala (which ironically, Apple just purchased), Engadget, Gizmodo, or many, many others, you will have a broken experience. That means there will be certain elements of these sites (in the case of HBO, the entire site itself) that simply won't work. Now, we're geeks. We get it. We know what's going on when a site shows the broken plugin icon, or says we need Flash. But to the wide world of "everyone" that Apple wants to sell this product to, this will result in a confusing and frustrating experience... a broken experience. That may be fine to Apple, but it isn't fine to us, and shouldn't be fine to the rest of the world. As an aside, we've been surprised other iPad reviews have not been more forthcoming in pointing this problem out -- this is not a small thing; it's is a major deficit in the iPad's browser. Now keep in mind we're not saying we love Flash and want to marry it -- in fact, we'd love to see a less CPU intensive format take its place -- but HTML5 isn't that format, at least not yet. It's important to understand that a lot of users will see the lack of Flash as a drawback, even if Apple doesn't like the standard, and even if Safari on the iPad is a brilliant experience (which it frankly is)."

One thing that makes me give a lot of respect to Engadget is that they point out that they've "been surprised other iPad reviews have not been more forthcoming in pointing this problem out -- this is not a small thing; it's is a major deficit in the iPad's browser. "

Kudos to Engadget.

So far, there are no other internet browser like the Firefox and IE that'll work on the iPAD because it is using the iPHONE OS.

This release of the iPAD is like the first release of the iPhone where later, there were people complaining about it's many problems. But like how Apple always listens to their customers, they improved the iPhone with the iPhone 3GS. A definite iPhone beater!

I think like what most smart techies out there would do is that I'd probably wait for the version 2 of the iPad to come out before I spend good money on it (unless I have a life or death need for it).

I believe that there are a few things that a successful businessman has that makes him successful and one of it is DISCIPLINE.

The other one is FOCUS.

I have this new philosophy of reaching my life's successes by behaving like a Millionaire Warrior. More on this in a later post.

Now's posting is about DISCIPLINE + FOCUS = GOAL.

My goal is to earn USD1,000.00 by end of April 2010 and I am going to achieve it mostly by this on-line program called Infinity Downline.

I believe it is my calling to share this system because I have seen a lot of people (especially in Malaysia) who is earning 4-5 figure income per month.

"If they can do it, why can't I? Or why can't you?"

I believe that it is the dream of many to be able to earn an income of their dreams even without him/her "working" at it after it has gained momentum.

I believe that it is the dream of many to be able to be free to do whatever that they want as long as it is:

1. Legal
2. Ethical
3. Morally right.

I believe that it is the Millionaire Warrior's duty to live a life of Masterful Servanthood.

Before I explain what this program is, let me share the important aspect of BELIEF.

If one's BELIEFS is at 100% that whatever one is doing is right, then the rest of it is simpler.

For example, there are many who thinks that Multi-Level Marketing(MLM)/Network Marketing(NM) is not a right way of doing business.

This is where I want to prove that it is not wrong to do MLM/NM, just as long as one is clear of one's intention to do it and that the program is one that is not only just to make a profit but to help the "little guy" make it.

Let me introduce to you Billy Riggs whose lecture I've heard many times about Network Marketing that everyone who is not at 100% believing that it is the best way to market a service and/or product should really listen to him.

I'll see how I can post his lecture legally and share what I learn about Network Marketing.
